Mini-books are a series of self-contained short stories and novellas published periodically. These stories are available online, to be downloaded, printed by the reader, and folded into pocket-sized books. The small size makes them suitable for commuters,[4] and the editors aimed to combine both the "free and easy distribution" provided by the internet with their "love of paper" and the physicality of books.[6]

The free mini-books allow the publisher to work with authors outside of those they publish traditionally.[3] Featured stories have "navigated such diverse topics as failed love, competitive familial golf games and vampires in graveyards".[7]
